The loyalists of America and their times
A chronological narrative examines the experiences of colonists who remained loyal to Britain during the revolutionary and early national eras, tracing political maneuvers, failed reconciliation efforts, and the impact of foreign alliances on the conflict. It details punitive legislation, displacement and migration of loyal populations, and the military contests that ensued, including the defense of British North American provinces during later Anglo-American hostilities. Eyewitness incidents and official correspondence illuminate leadership decisions, frontier alliances with Indigenous leaders, and the organization of local militia, while chapters alternate political analysis with campaign narratives and regional responses.
